What old George said : "Former President George Bush told members of the United States Olympic team yesterday that winning a medal is not as important as representing their country 'with class and dignity.'"Not bad. Certainly easier coming from George Sr, than Jr, who is acting quite in opposition to his fathers principles and indeed without his support.
What an Amreican president should say:
"Winning a medal is not as important as competing with class and dignity. Although you compete under the flag of the United States, you represent and compete with your brothers and sisters of humankind. You are there to challenge mankind, to raise the bar: no man or woman will succeed passing under the bar you set. You and everyone there together contribute to this noble athletic effort of mind and body."
You are our contribution to this effort, and we cheer you, everyone. Surely, your achievement and your efforts lift our spirits."
